Surveillance/Private Investigation

Surveillance is the monitoring of behaviour and activities, as well as the gathering of information, usually for the purpose of influencing, managing or protecting someone. This can include observation from a distance by means of electronic equipment (such as cameras) or interception of electronically transmitted information (such as over the internet or phone calls). It can also include simple or relatively low technology methods such as human intelligence gathering. This gathering of information can affect the prevention of crime or the protection of a person, object or organisation.

Along with the previous backgrounds of Chartsec employees and extensive training, the company’s surveillance service has been enhanced with the use of sophisticated technical equipment. This provides the private individual or company with state-of-the-art surveillance expertise and equipment to obtain positive results in the most covert and discreet manner.

The company has the capabilities to undertake physical, urban and rural surveillance projects. All operating protocols are in strict compliance with government legal guidelines. Chartsec can offer this service nationwide and even overseas if arranged in advance.

All services are tailored specifically to the client’s requirements and specifications.

Locus Reports

Chartsec is able to obtain the required evidence for claims or potential court cases. We specialise in reporting for both RTA’s (road traffic accidents) and trip sites, but can also cover cases or incidents where liability or blame may be disputed.

We use specialist agents to gather sufficient evidence from an incident location to help support, or in some cases disprove, a claim. The agent will visit the scene and gather the information required to produce the locus report. Typically, this information will include the following:

Measurement taking

Digital photography

Detailed sketches

Witness statements

Electronic Counter Surveillance Sweeps

Technical surveillance counter measures (TSCM) sweeps are known by many different names, such as bug sweeping, TSCM inspections or electronic counter-surveillance. All involve an electronic and physical inspection of a room, building, area or vehicle.

They also work with state-of-the-art technical equipment. Team members are accustomed to working in all manner of challenging environmental situations and are ready and able to reach all locations within the UK.

Each operative is skilled and capable of carrying out detailed electronic and physical sweeps to detect electronic devices, bugs, hidden cameras and tracking devices.

Total confidentiality and working to the utmost discretion are both top priorities with regards to Chartsec’s relationship with every client.
